Sparkly Amethyst Earrings with Violet Crystals
- Faceted Gemstone, Short Boho Chic Dressy Dangles -
These sweet amethyst earrings feature lovely faceted gemstones, Swarovski crystals, and sterling silver French hooks. The amethyst gemstone beads are nicely cut with small facets and tend to catch the light easily. They are partnered with pretty violet-colored Swarovski bicones, which bring a wonderful sparkle to the earrings and complement the shine of the gemstones. The sterling silver hooks add a further touch of elegance to the pair, and come with clear ear guards for better security when the earrings are worn.
To bring a boho chic quality to the styling here, I chose TierraCast cone-shaped bead caps and granulated rondelle spacers (both the caps and the spacers, were made in the USA). The bead caps are plated with rhodium and the rondelles are fine silver-on-pewter creations. Also included are Japanese seed beads, which I used to stabilize the rondelle spacers on the earring pins. The length of this pretty pair is 1 3/8" including the sterling hooks.
Sparkly and pretty in their boho chic elegance, these genuine amethyst earrings with sterling silver and violet crystals would make a perfect gift for anyone who loves the color purple. They would also be a sweet choice for wedding jewelry, especially as a gift for the maid of honor or mother of the bride. They were handmade by me with great care, thought, and best wishes for their destined wearer. The pair comes on a PrettyGonzo earrings card and wrapped in a nice organza bag, all set for gifting to someone special—including yourself!
ABOUT AMETHYST
A member of the quartz family, amethyst is traditionally regarded as a stone of protection that lowers stress and calms the mind. It is also believed to be a highly spiritual stone that nurtures inner peace and spiritual awareness. This gemstone has been appreciated since ancient times. The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek word "amethusos," which translates as "not drunk." Not surprisingly, among the wide range of healing properties attributed to the stone is the power to help people who have problems with alcohol and other substance addictions. Some people also believe that this gemstone confers beneficial effects on insomnia, poor digestion, arthritis, and headaches. It is associated with the crown chakra, and is the birthstone for February. Amethysts are actually crystals and often have inclusions, clouding, and other interesting elements to them, as well as various shadings of their distinctive purple color.
